Malala Day Themes and Thoughts

Malala’s bravery has made a lasting impact on this world and inspired thousands of others to stand up for girls’ right to education. That is why on July 12, we celebrate Malala Day. It’s her birthday and also the date she delivered a speech at the UN about global education in 2013. This was her first public appearance after the event and is also the day the UN officially declared the first-ever Malala Day.

But she insists, “Malala Day is not my day.” Instead, she dedicates this day every year to help make the world a better place for all men, women and children in the world.

Malala Day Themes:

Every year Malala day is represented by a theme. Year wise themes are written below :

In 2014, Malala dedicated the day to the Nigerian girls experiencing violence, by demanding the government to take necessary action to find the missing girls.

In 2015, she dedicated her day to Syrian refugee girls forced out of their school by conflict by opening a school for 200 girls in Lebanon.

In 2016, the theme was #YesAllGirls- is a fight to educating girls everywhere.
